𝐌𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲 || Jing Yuan x GN!Reader

"The insanity isn't what I fear, but the memories that might be lost when it catches me. For that reason, I write."

✶

(Y/N) has died before. Though they can't remember it, they know it has happened. When the Mara strikes, perhaps that's why the insanity is so familiar, the thought that they might lose what few memories that Yaoshi hasn't stolen from them.

It's the reason why they have to write. Write and never stop; to give the world some record that they'd ever existed. That they aren't just a pawn for Yaoshi's devices. If they try hard enough, their poetry might be able to save them... right?

✶

Jing Yuan had watched them die. Watched them get resurrected. Watched their memories trickle away. Yet, here they are, standing right in front of him: a stranger. He can tell they don't have much time by the mara lining their irises, but he'll be damned if he lets this second chance slip away.
